kev Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 6 or 12mm birch marbelite is not even that thick Have you checked your facts properly before making this statement? I think not. All our Marblite is 6mm thick Corian made by Dupont. Look on the back of most pieces and the information is printed on the back. Its ridiculous, not thought out comments like this that snowball and start to get people bad reputations. I don't mind criticism - I gain lots from it, but posts like this are really annoying!

Kev However Kev, its this type off miss information that can lead to legal actions, quite often not because of what was said but because those involved haven't got there eye on the ball. By your active involvement in the topics & forum, you can nip them in the bud with the facts. Mr Birch should give you a pay rise, you've probably saved & made them thousands with your involvement on the forum.

Michael Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm getting used to this infill thing just made this today for my window,may venture into cutting my own shapes soon Larger open fonts make flood filling a lot easier,also got some gravolaq which floods much better than cellulose paint.

Guest kam Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 those sign look very good, are they sell in good amounts? every day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Not every day,maybe 1 or 2 per week but i'm only in a small market town of about 40,000 population Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Nice one Michael, looks like a good infill aswell. What paint are you using. Did you use a CB blank or cut it out yourself? I did another for display today, not happy with the colours I've used though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I've gone over to Gravolaq for flood filling,much better. This was one of CB blanks but I just got some info from Corian yesterday,might ring them next week about prices and size of sheets. I will probably have to invest in a new machine for cutting my own shapes as my Mastergrave Universal is very restricted in its maximum cut size. Was thinking maybe an IS6000. Any Opinions?

ironplanet uk900 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Was thinking maybe an IS6000. Any Opinions? I have an is7000 and its brilliant !! I would reccomend you go down this route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironplanet uk900 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I was going to do it black, but already have enough black on display.

Michael Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Was thinking maybe an IS6000. Any Opinions? I have an is7000 and its brilliant !! I would reccomend you go down this route I would really love an IS400 volume but room is also a factor. Would it be cheaper to buy an IS6000 and stick with me Universal for day to day stuff or forget the 6000 and go for a 400 volume? It wont be yet,having a few cashflow probs at the moment so curbing me spending but would like to start planning ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 What Can I say, I love the Volume, I still think its the best machine on the market. The is6000 will take up more room. It depends what you think your potential is Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Remember the volume only has an engraving area of 305mm x 210mm Whats your machines limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
